Virtual PC won't accept Windows XP Pro Product Key

Q:Virtual PC won't accept Windows XP Pro Product Key

I'm installing a new Virtual-PC using my local CD ROM to run my Microsoft Windows XP Pro install disk. The Install disk get to the very end and asks for the Product Key. It claims the key is invalid. Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi, got a message yesterday on my windows 8.1 laptop saying my windows is expiring in a couple of weeks and I need to put in a product key to renew it. So I found my product key and put i tin and it won't work? It says it can't be accepted and to use another one?

HP DX2450 Microtower. This system comes with HP branded Windows XP install disk and a restore disk(among others). I wanted to perform a repair install on XP. Inserted the HP restore disk, system reported it sees a valid restore disk and ask for the Windows install disk. I put in the HP Windows XP disk, when it got to "install Windows" , I chose "repair an existing XP installation". When it finished installing, it ask for the product ID. I looked on the CD, in the i386 folder/unattend.txt, bottom line is the product ID. When I put in this key, it tells me it's not a valid key. Now I'm stuck. How can this not be a valid ID when it's on the same disk used to install Windows, and what can I do now?

Getting blue screen with boot up errors when I switch on my PC File:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD Error Code; 0xc0000034. I am trying to get support online from HP but I get no further that the screen to input the serial and\or product keys. It just comes back with an error saying that product does not exist even though I am typing them directly from a photograph I took of the black bar coded label on my PC which shows the Serial No, Product No and model (HP Pav 23-q105na). My PC is only in warranty for another 25 days and I need to talk to someone from HP. Help

Hi, I just got a ton of new parts in my pc (everything is new except the PSU, the HDD, and the video card). I upgraded to a 64-bit system, and bought a Windows XP x64 retail from my local Staples. Everything installed fine, until I got to the part where you define your locale, keyboard type, enter product key, etc. The part after setup has copied all of the files to the disk, its just finishing the installation. So when it asked for the product key I entered the one from the booklet that came in the box. It said: "The Product Id you entered is not valid.". So I typed it again, carefully checking each box to make sure I didn't enter it incorrectly. Then I pressed Next, and still the same error message. So I checked online and I saw a forum post on another website where someone had about the same problem, that said that the solution is to start the xp install disk again, go to the recovery console and execute the dskpart command. I did so, then proceeded to try reinstalling again, got to the same point and still the product key didn't work. I read somewhere that the product key and the product ID are two different things (from my understanding, one is the numbers that you use to prove you have genuine copy of windows and the other is the installations ID, that really has nothing to do with installing). The window specifically tells me to enter my product key, but the error says the product ID I entered is invalid. I can't afford to buy another key (I heard that Micros... Read more

A:[SOLVED] Fresh install of XP, won't accept product key.

It is easy to mistake a 6 for a G . . a 8 for a B . . I would go back and double check that the letters/numbers are being typed acurately.

Unless someone mess with the package, it would be almost impossible for the key not to match the install type.

Hi
I have Windows 8.1 and have been offered a free upgrade to Win 10,
I would much rather upgrade using a virtual box because the last time I upgraded I had a lot of driver issues,
I have git bash and WAMP configured just the way I like it and I'd rather not upset everything if I can help it.
The problem is how do I create a Win 10 virtual box using an iso without being able to access a product key?
Kind regards,
Michael Thomas

I installed Windows 10 on VirtualBox on my Mac. When installing I entered the Product Key that I got when I purchased Windows 10. Now I am planning to use the same key elsewhere. Should I do something before I delete the virtual Windows 10 from VirtualBox? Thank you.

A:Product Key and virtual machine

Nothing that will really help. You can remove the product key from the local machine but that won't change anything already stored on Microsoft activation servers.

Here is what is happening. I successfully installed an XP Pro version using the Dell RE-install CD but I am having problems activating it. I don't want to use the Volume license that is associated with it as I have 3 valid keys of my own. This is the info for the Dell install:Product ID 76487-OEM-0011903-00102Product Key ??I want to know if it is possible to use one of my legitimately purchased COA's to activate this install since it is the only one that has seemed to work.

I created a few other machines using an OEM SP3 disk, an OEM SP2 and OEM 1 disk and none of these would accept any of the 4 genuine COA's that I have. (I don't have the original OEM CD's that came with the COA's). When I try to input the product key I get this error message "The CD Key you entered is not valid"

It doesn't make sense that the install is not taking these keys unless they are somehow tied to the specific OEM disk.

Is there any way that I can use any of these 4 COA's that are valid? Can I alter the Dell install, change the product ID and Product key?

I really appreciate any suggestions here. I don't know why I am having this difficulty now as I thought I had done installs like this before with no problem.

Has Microsoft changed something in the latest April Windows Updates?
I create a default Windows 8 Enterprise VL image on my laptop in audit mode as I have always done previously. Nothing has changed from my side.
When I install the image via WDS, everything installs fine.
When I use my WIM file to install via USB, it now comes up with:
The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key.
right after selecting the install language.
I have checked EI.cfg and it is normal:
[EditionID]
Enterprise
[Channel]
Volume
[VL]
1
I then tried adding PID.TXT with my Enterprise KMS key and, rather than error it then prompts me for a product key.
Surely using the VL install media it should never ask for a product key. It never has before. (And I've never had to before)
I prepped the image as normal using:
C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep\Sysprep /generalize /oobe /shutdown /unattend:C:\Windows\win8unattend.xml
Any ideas? I can't but help thinking something has changed in the latest batch of Windows Updates. It's quite frustrating as not all my machines are capable of PXE, so I have to use USB.
The reason I think it is a recent change, is if I do a default install and DO NOT do any Windows Updates, it all works fine. Only when I install the latest WU does it start doing this.

A:[NEW] The product key entered does not match any of the Windows images available for installation. Enter a different product key.

OK, So I've fixed it now, but I will still like to know WHY this has changed.

I have recently bought Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) version and when trying to activate the product key post installation of the same. am getting a error that product key is blocked by Microsoft. Can any one help please ?

My c: drive stopped working, so I installed a new drive, copied a lot of files from back up, and I think merged some Registries. I had my old Virtual XP machines working, complete with their programs installed. Then I did "one more thing" to the
Registry and crashed the newly installed Windows 7 and had to start over. This time I decided I didn't want to add a lot of garbage from my backup and old Registries, so I just copied needed files. However, now I can't get Virtual XP to work. I've run the
system check file, and it says my system can handle virtual machines. I've checked Windows Features, and it has a check mark for Virtual PC. When I install Windows XP (WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe), it completes the install, but, when I click to open it with Finish,
it says it can't. When I try to install Virtual PC from Microsoft's current installation page (Windows6.1-KB958559-x64-RefreshPkg.msu), it says it isn't compatible with my version of Windows. I found the original Virtual PC file from backup
(Windows6.1-KB958559-x64.msu), and it says it's already installed. The Windows Virtual PC folder says it's empty. When I click a previous machine that opened before, it tells me there is no configuration file.

I am making a recovery disk for my dell latitude E6440 laptop and began the process to make a Windows 7 professional DVD. However, the Product Key I found on the computer only has 20 characters and on the Windows download site I received an error,
saying I needed 25 characters.
Not sure where I go from here. Dell said the Windows 7 professional Product ID was correct.

So short story, I work at a college tech site that fixes student and faculty computers. A foreign exchange student from Japan with a Sony Vaio (most likely from Japan as well) managed to get a virus on his computer and he was blocked off our network. Our policy is that we wipe and reinstall the OS to ensure that the virus is gone. However, we didn't have any Windows 7 Home Prem media CDs so I downloaded a Win7 Home Prem 32bit iso off of MSDN and burnt it to disk. However, when entering the product key given on the bottom of the laptop(and I've checked 3 times now to make sure it's correct), I get a:

"Product key does not match the current Windows SKU" error.

Why is this happening? Do I need a certain burnt iso (from Sony in Japan?) because of the laptop's foreign origins or is something else causing the problem here?

Could anybody give me some advice on something? I feel like a complete idiot.

I am just starting an MCDST course as a student (and single parent :-) for XP and currently have Windows 7 64bit on the desktop I'm using.

Tried to download MS Virtual PC from 2 different MS sites (one public (1), and one through the MS Academic Alliance (2) from my college)

1)The files from the public site were blocked by my windows security settings...probably a really basic thing BUT in "security I'm not sure which check-boxes etc. were relevant. The desktop I'm using seems to have been delivered last summer with these security settings set to high because other software I've tried to download for my kid is also blocked. Called Dell support but don't have the ?70 fee for their "solution".

2)The files obtained through the Academic Alliance had some "compatibility" issue and could be downloaded but not opened.

So I went down a different route and installed Virtual Box, then tried to download XP from the Academic Alliance...I'm downloading from a dongle so problems there as well.

All in all I seem to be failing to do even the most basic thing which is get XP on my Windows 7 so I can start my course. The fact that I can't even manage that makes me think I'm probably too stupid to even be attempting this

Thanks.

A:Virtual PC/Virtual Box and Windows 7 security issues.

Just got a wee bit further: managed to download an ISO of XP to use with Virtual Box but now but now Windows security won't let me download the burning software in order to burn the XP iso to disk.

Hello. I need to install a Windows 7 Virtual Machine on my Windows 7 OS. I have a few questions to ask in this regard,

1. How much RAM should I allocate to the Virtual machine considering I have 4 GB of RAM? My Specs are i3 4005U 1.7GHz. 4GB RAM, Windows 7 SP1 64 bit(dell laptop)2. Are there any working guides/video out there that can help me in this regard? I have searched alot but they are either old/ or have unreliable comments.3. From where can I get an ISO? That can work well. And also does it during the installation process, ask for a product key if i have downloaded it off from somewhere?

thanks alot! It's an emergency. I appreciate your time and once again thank you very much!

problem is when I was buy a dell laptop that have come with preloaded os (windows 8 )I have available product id but product key not available. now my head drive damaged. Now how to load window 8 OS use previous product key.

How to now my product key using product id :00326-10000-00000-AA870

One time I was replace motherboard on that laptop on warrienty periode. that time they give me a window product key with seal pack. now when I will go to load window 8 useing that product key my laptop has not accepet that product key

I will not question whether this is legal or illegal. This comes from Microsoft:http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q328874

For non-corporate users there is this from my own experience: I have on occasion run into three or four customers who attempted what is known as casual piracy by installing his XP onto a second machine. I have had to get only one customer out of this mess (about two years ago or longer) but the workaround was easy. (By the time his grace period was up, he had installed many programs and didn't want to be forced to do it again.) We called Microsoft, gave them a credit card number and they worked us through some steps that fixed the problem.

We then rebooted and was asked for a valid key.

I do not remember the steps as it was quite some time back and I saw no reason to keep notes on it.

Microsoft asked no questions about why he attempted piracy. I think they are just happy to get the money.

I created a Windows To Go flash drive using 64-bit Windows 8.1. It boots and works perfectly except that I cannot activate it with the license key I got when I paid for Windows 8 last summer (I bought the digital download, ordered the
optional disc, and carefully recorded the license key Microsoft e-mailed me).
I noticed that the "build" of the Windows To Go flash drive states "Windows 8 PRO," not Windows 8 or 8.1. Did I screw up and not install the right version of Windows to the drive? Is Windows To Go only for the PRO version of Windows 8
and not the regular version? I only worked on this as an experiment to see if I could boot Windows 8 on our work PC's (which are sadly still running XP), and I am so close! Where did I go wrong?

2 days ago I upgraded my laptop from Vista to Windows 8, I didn't have the router network password handy so I skipped that. I set up a new Microsoft account because I didn't have one and I was able to use the laptop for a while. After shutting down for the night I was unable to get back in (it wouldn't accept my password). I reset the password and verified that the new password worked by signing into my MS account on another computer. I connected the laptop to my router with a cable but it still would not accept my MS password. Many hours later, I did manage to get in and thought the problem was resolved.

Today: still connected by cable, laptop won't accept the MS password.

If I ever get back in I'll set it up so that I don't need to go through an MS account but I need to get in first.

Any suggestions?

Just posted this and tried again and suddenly I can get in - very confusing

A:Windows 8 won't accept my password

Check your keyboard setting. I had set Canadian keyboard, then when you type @, it becomes " (but I didn't know because screen show only dots), that's why Windows 8 didn't accept my password.

Hey guys! I recently heard about a program called ClockGen from the makers of CPUID. Basically, it lets you overclock the FSB from Windows, and, since CPUFSB won't work on my motherboard, I thought this was my chance to get into overclocking.

Well, I installed it, ran it, got my Athlon XP 2100 up to 2Ghz with no major tweaking. Needless to say, I was thrilled. So, I decided to go into the BIOS and make this a hard overclock so that I wouldnt have to run ClockGen at each boot to get my well-earned overclock . But, upon booting Windows with my FSB at 154 just like ClockGen did, all I saw was a quick flash of blue (think BSOD) and then a reboot. I even lowered the FSB to 140 and it did the same thing.

Does anyone know why Windows would accept a software overclock but not a BIOS overclock?

Just bought a new laptop Install seemed to be going well until I entered the wrong password for Wireless Network Chose to do a recovery to try to solve that issue. Upon restarting, my password was no longer accepted, although the password hint was still there. Not sure if the problem has to do with the fact that I performed a recovery, or because I somehow entered the wrong password twice during initial setup, or perhaps there's a finite number of password attempts that Windows 7 allows before it locks you out, because I've tried about 200 versions of my password Can anyone help?

So here is my problem, I have a Macbook and I used Bootcamp to put on Windows XP x64 Edition. Then my hard drive crashed and I had to reload all my software and everything, but when I started to put Windows back on my Computer, this is the same disk and product key i used on my last hard drive, Windows wouldn't accept the key for XP. I was wondering am I just screwed in that i need to buy another version of Windows, or can i get this key to work. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I have had w7 installed for about 2 weeks with no prob. This morning I briefly used my tablet pc (hp 2730p) for about 30 min. I put it to sleep to take my gf to work and when I got back about 40 min later i tried to log on and it wouldn't accept my password.

At first, I thought it was just not accepting my password but, at random, I deliberately input incorrect passcodes and nothing happened. It basically resets the cursor and gives me the option to reset password.

So I booted in SM and changed the password and nothing happened, I tried to remove it and nothing happened, it's as if the screen just won't leave or something.

Please don't redirect me to usual tuts about this, because it's clear to me that this isn't an ordinary problem seeing as in how I have tried just about everything to reset/remove my password.

Hey guys , this isssue is one I have been struggling to fix . It happened 6 months ago when I was surfing the net and suddenly the laptop is disconnected from wifi . I tried to fix it in every possible way by researching online (using my phone) . Well , since none of it worked I took the liberty of going to a local comp. store to get it fixed and it did work . But just yesterday the very same happened while I was downloading games . I'm open to any kind of suggestion so if u guys have any , feel free to speak .Thank you

I have a Canon BJC 620. I know it is old, but way back when I bought it , it was very expensive and still works fine.My problem is: I just reformatted a computer with Windows 2000, (Had Windows ME originally), and now I can't install the printer because it says it is for Windows 95 only, yet I had no problems with it on ME. I went to Canon site and they have no driivers for 2000. Do I have to get a different printer, or is there a solution to my problem?

I have a Dell laptop, it runs Windows XP Home Edition and came loaded with Word for windows. For some strange reason I cannot reset the paper orientation from landscape to portrait, change the fonts or change the margins. It just goes right back to the previous settings. It also gives me an error message when I try to change the orientation. It says "Increasing the right margin causes the last column to become too narrow in some sections having unevenly spaced columns". I have tried to change the default but get the above message no matter what I do. I am only trying to print a letter and it has no columns in it. I have used Word for a number of years on other computers and never encountered this problem.

A:Word for Windows won't accept new formats

Hi,Your Word template "normal.dot" may be causing the trouble. To see if this is what is causing your trouble:

--Close Word--Do a search for "normal.dot" (without parenthesis). It is usually located in both C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates and C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates.--Delete all instances of "normal.dot." It will be recreated when Word is opened again. If you are not comfortable with deleting it make a copy of it before deleting and put in a safe place.--Open Word and check

Hopefully this is all that is causing your problem. The template can become "corrupted" over time.

I partitioned my hard drive today and split it into two, one containing Windows Vista and the new partition containing Windows 7. I booted up the Windows 7 partition for the first time and the colors were all weird, and it appeared to be a graphics card problem. I decided to update the drivers, and got the most recent ones. I installed the drivers and rebooted and everything, but it was still the same weird color. It's a problem with my graphics card, because when I go to Device Manager, it has a yellow triangle by the graphics card, and when clicked upon the properties, it gives Code 43 "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems." I have no idea what to do, and I hope someone on here does. Thanks for the help.
